The AVA printed your staffer, Heather<br>> Gurewitz's email announcing the gleeful event in the AVA after the<br>> fact. I don't know if Meg and Heather are friends, but I understand<br>> that Heather represents you and your office. Therefore, I would think<br>> you are in support of her actions and her involvement with KZYX.<br>><br>> I would now like to draw your attention to a different sort of article<br>> that was printed in the AVA due to events from yesterday, Wednesday,<br>> October 7, 2015.<br>><br>> One of the recommendations made to the FCC was that the GM resign<br>> before the station license was renewed. The GM, John Coate, resigned<br>> one day after a Board Member and station members/donors issued a<br>> letter to inspect the financial records plus election and membership<br>> information. An attempt to do so yesterday (a scheduled inspection)<br>> was met with a police detail at the Philo studio (See letters below.)<br>><br>> If you have followed the crux of the issues at KZYX, you would not<br>> only call for your own inspection of the station's financials, you<br>> would further investigate how KZYX is not fully operating under FCC<br>> and CPB policies and regulations. You would also learn that the Board<br>> is systematically and intentionally circumventing one of its own Board<br>> Members who asked to see the financial documents of the station. Yes,<br>> for that reason a Board Member has been isolated with the hope he will<br>> just resign. This effort is lead by the new interim GM, Stuart<br>> Campbell. By the way, Mr. Campbell was the former President, before<br>> he and 2-3 other Board Members, made him the paid Interim GM without<br>> the knowledge of the FULL Board and the donor members. Finally, you<br>> would understand that the infrastructure of the station has the Staff<br>> leading the Board which is not how a not-for-profit should conduct the<br>> business of its members and the funds they contribute.<br>><br>> I urge you to review the serious nature of supporting a non-profit<br>> that is not operating as such.<br>><br>> Respectfully,<br>><br>> Mary K Massey<br>> Mendocino, CA<br>><br>> *****<br>><br>> KZYX BARS THE DOOR; COPS WARN SAKO<br>><br>> Mr. Campbell,<br>><br>> I'm a board director, and I have the absolute right of inspection of<br>> station records per California Corporations Code and MCPB's corporate<br>> bylaws. I will be scheduling to inspect all the documents that station<br>> members McKenty, Collins, and Tracy were prevented from seeing today.<br>> You have that list for the production of said documents.<br>><br>> Yours very truly,<br>><br>> John Sakowicz, Ukiah<br>><br>> MCPB Board of Directors (2013-2016)<br>><br>> * * *<br>><br>> Dear friends,<br>><br>> I just returned from my conference at the Fairmont Hotel in San<br>> Francisco on bankruptcy law as it applies to public pension systems. I<br>> just read the email below. I'm concerned — troubled — that you,<br>> members of KZYX, were denied a full inspection.<br>><br>> I'm a KZYX board director, and I need to inspect the records that you<br>> (the members) were denied from inspecting this afternoon.<br>><br>> I'll do this with all of you, or I'll do it with attorney Peter Kafin.<br>><br>> It might interest the group to know that when I returned home in<br>> Ukiah, I had a message from MCSO Lieutenant Jason Caudillo warning me<br>> that no violence would be tolerated at today's inspection. No doubt<br>> KZYX station manager, Stuart Campbell, initiated the call.<br>><br>> It was insulting — deeply insulting — for Campbell to imply that the<br>> station need a police presence. Campbell clearly wants to escalates a<br>> civil matter.<br>><br>> Why call the MCSO? I'm a former member of the MCSO, having worked at<br>> the jail from 2000-2004, and I'm both of public trustee of our<br>> county's $455 million pension system MCERA, and a sworn fiduciary of<br>> the same. I was vetted by the county's CEO for this position.<br>><br>> Furthermore, I'm a member of the 2015-2016 grand jury where I was<br>> vetted by the courts.<br>><br>> I'm law abiding in every respect.<br>><br>> I'm copying both Lieutenant Caudillo and Sheriff Allman on this email.<br>><br>> John Sakowicz, Ukiah<br>><br>> * * *<br>><br>> JUDI BARI LIVES!<br>><br>> AVA,<br>><br>> You will no doubt be proud to note that your piece this week<br>> referencing Judy Bari prompted the KZYX staff to call the police and<br>> have them meet us in the parking lot during our attempt to review<br>> documents that their bylaws specifically state any member can see.<br>><br>> http://theava.com/archives/48473#12<br>><br>> They were so frightened that we were mounting a Bari like<br>> demonstration they felt compelled to call for police protection.<br>> Sakowitz even got a call warning him that violence would not be<br>> acceptable.<br>><br>> The best part of the day for me was, once I explained to the police<br>> why we were there, a policeman took me aside to explain what to do if<br>> we found evidence of embezzling…<br>><br>> Doug McKenty, Elk<br>> __________________________________________________________<br>> __________________________________________________________<br>> The Mendocino Community Network (MCN) provides the MCN Discussion list.<br>> Use of the list is subject to the terms of service at<br>> http://www.mcn.org/email/dtos.html<br>> TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list send an email to discussion-leave@lists.mcn.org<br>> (To complete the process you must reply to the email you receive in response)<br>> For listserv technical problems please contact: listmanager@mcn.org<br></div><br></div></body></html>
